Currently using Psych as a drop-in replacement for syck will _not_work_. For highly dynamic objects spaces with a lot of recursive objects you will get following error:

I had some errors when upgrading to Rails 3.1, but it turned out there were some errors in my YAML file.

Feature #2340: Removing YAML/Syck

Author: Yui NARUSE
Status: Rejected
Priority: Normal

Target version: 2.0.0


=begin
 YAML and Syck is a _why's product and widely used bundled library of Ruby.
 But they are not maintained for 2 years and no more by _why.
 And they support only YAML 1.0, not 1.1 and 1.2.
 So YAML/Syck considered harmful.
